It's here, the $37 Dollar laptop and its for real
Brandon Davenport
Might as well plan to walk into a toy store and pick this up for your kid - mortifying them in the process. This bad boy has the looks of a low-end netbook and the dimensions of a flabby old laptop, but it has the guts of a blazing inferno.
The Ebay $37 laptop features a 300 MHz ARM VIA processor with 128MB RAM and a hungry 2GB of storage. The hefty rim around the 7-inch (almost iPhone 4 resolution) 800 x 480 screen has just enough space for a pair of tinny speakers, and you even get an ethernet jack and a couple USB ports (iPad haters giggle). Also, it may or may not come with original packaging, and yours will ship from Hong Kong, so the risk factor is at threat level midnight. Also, you can pick it up over on Ebay (duh!)
